Review
Hospitalized companion animals have increased susceptibility for hospital-acquired/nosocomial infections. Veterinarians have a responsibility to ensure adequate infection control, biosecurity, and biosafety within veterinary hospitals. Through elimination of pathogens and substitution of hazards, as well as implementation of engineering and administrative controls and the use of personal protective equipment, veterinary teams can dramatically reduce unintentional disease transmission.

Review
Medical 3-dimensional printing allows the creation of anatomic models by using a sequence of computer software programs. Diagnostic imaging data are used to create a physical model that allows clinicians to plan for surgical procedures and create prosthetics and surgical implants and instruments, among other applications. Its use in zoological medicine is limited, but is an area with a great growth potential. This publication reviews the process of creating a 3-dimensional anatomic model, its application in human and small animal medicine and surgery, and reviews peer-reviewed data regarding its use in exotic animals, wildlife, and zoo animals.

Review
Animal physical rehabilitation is one of the fast-growing fields in veterinary medicine in recent years. It has become increasingly common in small animal practice and will continue to emerge as an essential aspect of veterinary medicine that plays a vital role in the care of animals with physical impairments or disabilities from surgery, injuries, or diseases.1 This is true now more than ever because of the increasing advances in lifesaving treatments, the increased lifespan of companion animals, and the growth of chronic conditions, of which many are associated with movement disorders. The American Association of Rehabilitation Veterinarians (AARV) defines APR as "the diagnosis and management of patients with painful or functionally limiting conditions, particularly those with injury or illness related to the neurologic and musculoskeletal systems." Rehabilitation not only focuses on recovery after surgical procedures but also on improving the function and quality of life in animals suffering from debilitating diseases such as arthritis or neurologic disorders. The overall goal of APR is to decrease pain, reduce edema, promote tissue healing, restore gait and mobility to its prior activity level, regain strength, prevent further injury, and promote optimal quality of life. Typically, a multimodal approach with pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions is used by APR therapists to manage patients during their recovery. The purpose of this article aims to provide knowledge and guidance on physical rehabilitation to help veterinarians in the proper return of their patients with ZCA safely after injury and/or surgery.
